The new hut!!!

I only have these photos so far of the house. Notice the yard....Greg keeps an immaculate yard...so this yard will work Greg for a little while. I guess we have grubs...I know, sounds like a personal problem. The picture of the mountain is the gorgeous view I see out my front window everyday. Yesterday there was the first real fall storm and the mountains were amazing. The clouds were floating right on by us and the mountains had snow at the tip top and the leaves are so beautiful right now! We are loving it!!! As soon as I get all my painting and things done on the inside of the house then I will send pictures....for anyone who doesn't know me...I always have to paint to my style in each of my houses! I found this awesome color in my last house and I can't wait to use it again in this new house!!! For anyone with painting ideas that you have seen...pass them on!!!

The New House

Back to life..back to reality!!!

Yeah, the move is over and I survived. We have been in our home now for a week and we are loving it!! The move went pretty smoothly and we were so grateful to those who helped us...even complete strangers!! It is always amazing to me to see who offers to help and who doesn't!! Bless those who helped!! We have a considerable amount of crap and I say crap because 60% of it is in bins and boxes and just gets moved with us everytime. Okay, so I am exaggerating...slightly. I feel like I can finally settle in. I am one who comes and immediately sets up and hangs up pictures. I can't relax until it is all done and so by Friday I had every thing put away and all of my pictures hung. come on..just pat me on the back...I am obviously very proud of myself! Although, I never said it looked good..it just is done.

We haven't missed our last home for even a second. Not that this one is that much nicer,..but our last one was ....let's just say, lived in. The people before us used it well and you don't realize that when you only walk through it two times. This one was owned by one of my kind....the "OCD" kind. I was so happy to come and find an immaculate home to move into. Even when we built a home it was a monster to clean because there was sawdust and building crap. We definetly miss our good friends from the old neighborhood, but hopefully we will always be good friends. Dallin is having withdrawals from Tanner but he makes friends quickly and already told me that he is the boss of their club at the new school.... GREAT..the bossy kind!! Although, he said he is appointing a new boss today...sure!!! We love the area that we are in. Greg says it is like camping every day...my kind of camping..running water, nice beds, I'll take it! We do have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and I love it. The wind does blow...hard...but only from 10 p.m-10a.m.. I can live with that!

Well, that is the update on our family. When I get a second I will take some pictures and post them! Thanks for all of the love and support through this whole move!!!!!

TOP TEN REASONS I AM READY FOR THIS MOVE TO BE OVER!!!!

1. No more driving three hours a day just for Dallin to go to school! (that is with no traffic my friends!!!)
2. That means I am done packing!!
3. I can actually check my blog without feeling like I am GI Joe'n it into the office so no one can see me.....there's too much to get done.
4. Greg can stop checking into mental hospitals...deciding where to place me!!
5. No more 30 + relatives of the family buying our house coming and just chillin' in the house!! It will finally be theirs!!!
6. My children will actually get attention....from me....not just from the television.
7. I won't ever have to use that stupid tape dispenser that I swear is going to kill me every time I try to tape up a box. (well, not for another year or so...when we move again....j/k) Seriously...just kidding!
8. Maybe I can pack up the potty mouth that comes with moving!!??!!! maybe? Oh, come on...don't give me that....it happens to everyone.......RiGhT????
9. A shower sounds nice!!! Well, okay, I shower but not until late at night...I'd like to look like Greg's wife and not like the moving lady..short of coveralls.
10. I can finally have this Coke IV taken out. Seriously if it is a steady stream of coke doesn't that still count as having only "one" coke a day.???!!!! (shhhh, don't tell Greg!!)

The whole family came in town for my mom's 60th birthday!!!




Fishy lips anyone????





Okay, so who doesn't like fishy kisses!! Personally my favorite!!! The kids and I went a little crazy with the camera yesterday. I let Dallin take the one of me with Colton and then I....yes oh yes...I took the one of Dallin, Alex, and Me doing fishy lips....Talent I know!!!!
